In English

Else Marie Pade (1924) was amongst the first pioneers in the world to work seriously with concrete music and electronic music. In the 1950s and 1960s she realised, in close collaboration with technicians from Danmarks Radio (the Danish Broadcasting Corporation), a considerable number of ground-breaking works. Her works "En dag på Dyrehavsbakken" and "Syv Cirkler" are the first piece of concrete music and the first piece of electronic music respectively created on Danish soil. In recent decades Pade's works have become the subject of intense attention amongst musicians and composers, and she has been, for example, honoured with a lifelong artistic grant from the Danish Agency for Culture
